"Biden's Immigration Shift Divides Advocates and Democrats"

President Biden's shift towards tougher border security and adoption of policies long sought by Republicans has angered some immigrant advocates, but is resonating with many Democrats, as evidenced by the recent special election win in New York. While some Democrats support the shift, others, including former presidential candidate Julián Castro, criticize it as adopting the terms of Trump's "Make America Great Again" movement. The proposed Senate deal, which included tougher asylum standards, faced opposition from immigrant advocates and some Democrats, while drawing support from the National Border Patrol Council and the Chamber of Commerce. In Nevada, a critical swing state, many Democrats are lining up behind Biden's approach, emphasizing the need for both border security and broad immigration reforms.
